The eight tenders targeted contracts for 68 TWh of renewable electricity, but the auction result was 36.7 TWh at a value of PLN 8.5 billion (USD 2.26bn/EUR 1.89bn). In 2020, 54.5 TWh got contracted.

The industry’s current circular capacity is woefully unprepared for the deluge of waste that is likely to come.

The Plan targets non-fossil fuel energy reaching only 20% of China’s energy supply by 2030; this means that coal must remain China’s dominant electric power generation fuel source for the foreseeable future.

This past year has been a whirlwind for large cities with the pandemic, with a significant exodus of residents, talents, and life. People have been moving to smaller and medium-sized municipalities due to remote working opportunities, affordability, and quality of life.

The importance of nuclear power in helping to stabilize electricity grids and ensure a reliable and low carbon energy flow will increase with the rising share of renewables in the global energy mix,

The UK currently has around 14GW of installed solar capacity, and is on track to double that total by 2030 under existing market conditions.

In 2020, India’s electricity production declined by 2.5% at 1,557 TWh. The country has an installed capacity of 412 GW (end-2020).

Roughly a quarter (10.5GW) of India’s 39.2GW of installed wind capacity was commissioned with wind turbine sizes of under 1 megawatt (MW),

Japan's package of actions, dubbed the Asia Energy Transition Initiative (AETI) and set to include a wide range of support measures for energy transition in ASEAN countries, was welcomed by ASEAN energy ministers, according to a joint statement issued following the meeting.

Vietnam has 600 MW of wind capacity, including 99 MW offshore, accounting for less than 1% of the country’s installed capacity (69 GW in 2020).

Reliance Industries and Chart Industries launched the India H2 Alliance (IH2A) to build the hydrogen economy and supply chain in India.

China has fully commissioned its 10.2 GW Wudongde hydropower project on the Jinsha river in southern China, with the start of the 12th and last generator.

In 2020, consumption of renewable energy in the United States grew for the fifth year in a row, reaching a record high of 11.6 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu), or 12% of total U.S. energy consumption.

They will focus on accelerating progress on electrification and batteries, hydrogen, carbon capture, usage and storage, zero-emission aviation and shipping, "and for those countries that opt to use it", nuclear power.
